Biography
I have lived in Berkshire for 32 years and my book Geology and Archaeology of Berkshire for people who aren’t geologists or archaeologists (Baffin Books) was born during walks round the county. Both subjects can be rather abstract if no one tells you where you can actually go and see them.
I am a member of the Newbury Geology Society, but certainly not an expert.
Talks
- Newbury Geology and Archaeology (given to Newbury Rotary, 13/2/2023) – with a little notice, this can easily be adapted for any part of Berkshire. Around 20 minutes, plus questions; could easily be lengthened
- Columnar Basalt (given to Newbury Geology Society, March 2021). About 10 minutes Slides available for both of the above; rock samples shown with the first
- Given notice, I can develop other talks on entry-level geology or archaeology, particularly with a local focus
